Angus Seats
The name of this pattern derives from the fact that many of the subjects are derived from William Angus, The Seats of the Nobility and Gentry (1787), though some of the views are composites. For further information see Dick Henrywood's The Transferware Recorder 2, 17.
The ladle is 170mm long and the bowl is 62mm in diameter. Earthenware.

The source print for the centre view is Angus, Plate 16, 'Cusworth in Yorkshire, the Seat of William Wrightson, Esqr.' The print is dated 1 December 1788. The enormous trees behind the house are not part of the source print and were clearly added to fill the otherwise blank space.
The pie dish is 160mm long, 121mm wide and 38mm tall.
The transfers used on this dish are made from borders from other pieces.

The dinner plate. Earthenware.
This "Ridgway" impressed mark is rare and occurs on both earthenwares and bone china pieces. It appears to be contemporaneous with the similar impressed "Ridgway & Sons" mark, and the discovery of a vase of pattern 1001 with the "Ridgway & Sons" mark indicates that both marks belong to the Job Ridgway & Sons period.
Although the buildings on this plate are unidentified, the boat in the foreground is from Angus, Plate 36, 'Lacy House in Middlesex, the Seat of Richard Brindsley Sheridan Esqr.' The print is dated 1 November 1793.
